Fox as Alex P. Keaton goodnight each and every night AND wrote him a fan letter in which I noted a) our shared Canadian heritage b) the fact that we "totally have the same sense of humor" and c) our exactly identical heights (5' 4") -- I must vigorously protest to comparisons between this vaguely boringly attractive, probably well-intentioned, casually racist/sexist, victim-of-his-own-hype, who-was-that-one-guy-with-that-book-last...75-years-to-earn-out-its-advance? Lit Boy Du Jour and my former beloved. Just wanted that on the record. Thank you for your time.

]]> <![CDATA[What Does Dana Vachon's Article About Wall Street Women Say About Himself?]]> Sometimes I think I am being unfair and unthinking when I hate the spoon-fed rich merely on principal, and feel I am committing just another version of Manhattanite prejudice against all Queens-folk as "Bridge and Tunnel--as if we all have Gotti-kid hair and wear striped, untucked dress shirts. I reflect that to judge any member of any class by their class alone is to use a very blunt instrument, is as nasty a form of prejudice as any other, and that it is unbecoming to anyone who would like to think that they're a generally accepting sort who wants to understand and explore the true nature of people and things without the muddying influence of his own intellectual shortcomings--though he may have harbored them all his life.

And then the progressive society to which I have pretended serves me a Dana Vachon. That rich, infantile, clueless, cushioned, incapable-of-honest-reflection, Vaseline-assed, fucking cunt.

]]> <![CDATA[What Does Dana Vachon's Article About Wall Street Women Say About Himself?]]> Vachon is a publicist's puppet, designed to revive a glossy Brett Easton Ellis image but w/out the advantage of zeitgeist, or the talent & originality that gave B.E.E. depth. This article about women told from an "in the know" point of view feels like he's trying too hard and the affect is silly, like a 7-year old stomping about in his father's dress shoes. Then again, this is Marie Claire.

]]> <![CDATA[What Does Dana Vachon's Article About Wall Street Women Say About Himself?]]> Field guide to Wall Street men, with demographics!:

99% "Dana Vachons" - wannnabes who were always aggressive and intelligent, but have 0 capabilities in finance and are begrudgingly used as cannon fodder by management. Obsessed with the "Wall Street lifestyle" to the detriment of their humanity.

1% "Normal Gifted Human Beings" - People genuinely fascinated with finance who pretty much think that Dana Vachons are unsuccessful pricks with delusions of grandeur and importance.

Zeroes before the decimal point create some weird personality disorders.

"Pink Shirt Guy" is from Connecticut or Westchester. Secretly wants to sleep with his mother. Went to some prep school you've never heard of and is in banking because of his insecurities.

"Blue Shirt Guy" is from Long Island or New Jersey. Secretly wants to sleep with his sister. Went to public school and is in banking because of his insecurities.

Both are total douchebags.

]]> <![CDATA[What Does Dana Vachon's Article About Wall Street Women Say About Himself?]]> This column from Vachon drips with all the painfully awkward nonauthenticity of that time Stephen King wrote about sports for Entertainment Weekly.

Dana, there are certain topics on which you should rightfully hold forth: literary ingenuehood, the virtues of Catholic nasal features, how Justine Bateman was such a tease back in the day, etc.

Topics you have no business expounding upon: women, particularly of the Wall Street variety. Also: Wall Street.
